Hi, Pat!

I would swear that I saw a scrapple recipie in Julia Child's book, The Way
to Cook. It uses a cornmeal mush and good-quality bulk sausage, mixed
together and baked, I think, in a loaf pan. You might steam it, though.
Then you cut thin slices and sautee them in butter and serve with a little
maple syrup. Yum!

Sure beats the store-bought kind, which is exactly as Pat described -- all
the meat that wasn't fit for hot dogs <g>.

Cheers,

Ken
